Human Remains, Jacket Found in Search for Woman Who Mysteriously Vanished in Australian Wilderness in 2023

Volunteer searcher Jarrod Boys found human remains near Philosopher Falls, prompting renewed police and forensic efforts to identify if they belong to missing backpacker Celine Cremer.

  • On Wednesday, volunteer Jarrod Boys discovered human remains near Philosopher Falls during a privately organised search, prompting police to launch a fresh search and attend the scene.
  • Celine Cremer, a 31-year-old Belgian backpacker, vanished after visiting Philosopher Falls on June 17, 2023, and was reported missing on June 26, 2023; last month, privately organised volunteer searches recovered her phone, reigniting efforts.
  • Commander Nathan Johnston said the discovery included a jawbone, bra, thermal top, and polar fleece jacket believed to be hers, while a pathologist confirmed the remains are human pending tests by Forensic Science Services Tasmania.
  • On Friday, six experts will be flown into the site to support line-search operations along a 400m to 500m Arthur River section, with dental comparisons and DNA testing expected in about 3 weeks.
  • Amid strong volunteer efforts led by filmmaker Rob Parsons, the operation suspended in July 2023 may resolve if remains support police theory she walked downstream toward the road.
